“Turan Tovuz” Misli Premyer Liqasının XXVIII turunda “Araz-Naxçıvan”a qalib gəlib. İkinci hissədə vurduğu qollarla aktivinə üç xal yazdıran tovuzlular üçüncü pillədəki yerini möhkəmləndirib.

“Zirə” – “Neftçi” matçının bərabərliklə bitməsi (1:1) ən çox məhz Tovuz klubu üçün sərfəlidir. Kurban Berdıyevin yetirmələri dördüncü “qartallar”ı 10, beşinci “ağ-qaralar”ı isə 11 xal qabaqlayır. Qarşıdakı beş turda bu fərqin qapanması da inandırıcı görünmür.

“Turan Tovuz” üçün digər şans isə gümüş medallardır. İkinci “Qarabağ”la aradakı fərq birdir. “Atlılar” bu gün “Sabah”la oyunda xal itirsə, tovuzluların ümidləri daha da artacaq.

“Neftçi” isə dördüncü pillə mübarizəsindən qopmayıb. Paytaxt klubu “Qarabağ”la ehtiyatda olan oyunu qazanacağı halda, “Zirə”ni üstələyə bilər. Bu isə komanda üçün avrokubok şanslarının artması demək olacaq.

“Zirə” kubokda mübarizəni davam etdirir və yarımfinalın ilk oyununda “Turan Tovuz”a 2:0 hesabıyla qalib gəlib. Cavab görüşündə “qartallar”ın final şansını əldən vermək ehtimalı azdır. “Zirə” ölkə kubokunu qazansa, Avropa Liqasına vəsiqə əldə edəcək və çempionatda 4-cü olan komandanın avrokuboklara yollanması məsələsi bağlanacaq.

Yarımfinalın digər oyunu “Sabah”la “Qarabağ” arasında olacaq. İlk oyunda bərabərlik qeydə alınıb – 2:2. Bu cütün qalibindən biri ölkə kubokunu qazansa, avtomatik liqada dördüncü olan kollektiv avrokuboklara biletini əldə edəcək. “Neftçi”nin isə tək şansı məhz bu yoldur.

Samsung held a Reddit AMA this week to talk Galaxy AI and it did not go the way they probably hoped.

Annika Bizon, Samsung UK and Ireland’s VP of Product and Marketing for Mobile Experience, fielded questions from real Galaxy owners about the AI features the company has staked its flagship identity on since the S24 series.

Redditors did not come to celebrate; they came with receipts.

One S26 Ultra owner wrote, plainly, that they “can’t find the niche in which AI is anything but a burden.”

Another asked how Samsung supports customers who don’t want AI on their devices at all.

A third asked when Samsung plans to shift focus away from what most people consider useless AI features.

One person just wrote: stop putting AI in your phones.

The pattern across the questions is hard to ignore. People aren’t asking how to use Galaxy AI better, but they are asking why it exists on their phones in the first place.

After years of Samsung treating AI as its headline selling point, a significant chunk of its own customer base still sees it as clutter.

Samsung’s answers were actually decent

On the question of AI feeling like a burden, she offered genuinely grounded advice: start with one feature, let it earn your trust, and go from there. It’s the kind of answer that actually makes sense; not a marketing script, just practical.

She framed Galaxy AI as something that should eventually become invisible, like electricity powering a home, something you depend on without thinking about it. Whether Samsung can execute it is a different conversation entirely.

On data privacy, Bizon pointed to Knox security and confirmed that cloud-based AI processing deletes data after delivering a result.

When asked about customers who simply don’t want AI, Bizon explained that users can go into Galaxy AI settings and switch individual features off.

Questions Samsung didn’t answer

• One person asked about the obsessive push for AI on smartphones.
• Another asked about the removal of Bluetooth from the S Pen, a decision that still irritates Galaxy S25 Ultra owners.

Samsung has spent two product generations leading with AI as a headline feature. Galaxy buyers feel like AI is happening to them, not for them. Bizon’s answers show the company understands this intellectually.

AppsFlyer has released its State of Subscriptions for Marketers 2026 report, revealing a sharp shift in consumer behaviour in the Middle East, where the rapid rise of Short Drama apps is reshaping both content consumption and marketing investment strategies.

Short Drama, bite-sized, mobile-first serialized video content, is emerging as one of the fastest-growing app categories in the UAE, with installs increasing by 109% year-on-year. Crucially, this growth is not occurring in isolation. The category has quickly become one of the largest recipients of advertising investment, ranking as the second-highest category for ad spend on Android in the Middle East. This alignment between user growth and marketing investment signals a maturing category, where marketers are no longer experimenting, but actively scaling.

The data suggests that this surge is being driven by a fundamental shift in how audiences engage with content. In contrast to traditional long-form streaming, Short Drama is designed for mobile-native consumption, favouring short, episodic formats that lend themselves to frequent engagement. At the same time, discovery within the category is increasingly driven by paid acquisition rather than organic channels, with a growing share of installs attributed to advertising. For marketers, this indicates that success in the category is closely tied to the ability to efficiently acquire users at scale.

Beyond Short Drama, the report highlights how paid user acquisition trends are evolving across subscription app categories in the region, offering insight into where marketers are seeing the strongest returns on investment. Utility and Productivity apps recorded a 491% year-on-year increase in paid installs on Android and a 99% increase on iOS, pointing to strong demand at scale, particularly among Android users. Meanwhile, OTT and Streaming apps saw a 31% increase in paid installs on Android and a striking 640% increase on iOS, suggesting that while Android drives volume, iOS continues to attract high-value users in premium content categories.

These shifts underline a growing divergence in platform dynamics. Android is increasingly associated with rapid user growth and scale, while iOS is delivering more concentrated gains in categories where users demonstrate a higher willingness to pay. For marketers, this reinforces the need to tailor acquisition strategies not just by category, but by platform, aligning spend with where conversion potential is strongest.

The report also points to significant differences in how effectively subscription apps convert users, particularly when it comes to free trials. Gaming apps continue to attract the highest share of trial users, with 12.2% of users entering free trials, but conversion remains relatively low, with only 19% going on to pay. In contrast, Education and Lifestyle apps convert more than 40% of trial users, indicating that these categories are more successful at demonstrating value within a limited timeframe. Health and Fitness apps stand apart, with many users opting to pay upfront without a trial, reflecting stronger purchase intent from the outset. These variations suggest that free trials are not a one-size-fits-all strategy, but rather a tactical lever that must be carefully aligned to category dynamics and user expectations.

At the same time, the way consumers pay for apps continues to diverge across categories. OTT and Live Streaming apps are consolidating around subscription-led models, as users commit to ongoing access to premium content. In contrast, Short Drama is beginning to incorporate ad-supported elements, reflecting a growing preference among users in fast-growing markets to trade time and attention for access rather than pay directly. This hybridisation of monetisation models is enabling developers to broaden their addressable audience while still capturing revenue from engaged users.

“The subscription app market is still growing, but the centre of gravity has shifted,” said Sarah Maina, Regional Manager, Middle East & France, at AppsFlyer. “Android is now the primary growth engine, emerging markets are driving the bulk of new subscribers, and the categories pulling ahead are the ones that figured out where their audience actually is, not where the industry assumed it would be. The marketers who close that gap fastest will have a meaningful advantage.”
